Austin Texas Homes

In January, I wrote a blog letting you know about Austin’s Habitat for Wildlife program.  Today, I want to tell you that the goal of that plan has been accomplished.  The City of Austin has officially been named by the National Wildlife Federation as a community wildlife habitat.  On March 12th, the City of Austin was awarded its Community Wildlife Habitat certification.  The certification grants Austin the honor of being the largest metropolitan city in the nation and the first city in Texas to be certified by the National Wildlife Federation.  The honor was received due to the participation of over 900 homes, 15 businesses, 14 parks, 25 schools and four churches that created habitats for Austin’s wildlife

Austin has accomplished its goal to be certified as a Community Wildlife Habitat, but not its goal to create even more wildlife spaces within the city.  You can still participate in Austin’s Wildlife Habitat program.  A wildlife space can be something as simple as a birdbath.  You will be surprised at the rewards you will receive when giving little creatures a little space.  In addition, you can receive your very own wildlife certification.

Congratulations, Austin!  And a BIG high-five to all participants who have made Austin a Community Wildlife Habitat.
